Incapacitated Due to a Workplace Accident: What Are Your Rights?

Become incapacitated due to a workplace accident? Claim your lost income and compensation. Arslan Advocaten helps you defend your rights at no cost.

An industrial accident can have major consequences, including disability. If you are temporarily or completely unable to work due to an accident at work, this can lead to a significant loss of income. Fortunately, in the Netherlands you are entitled to compensation if your employer is liable. AtArslanAdvocaten we help you recover this damage from the liable party.


Loss of income after an industrial accident: what can you claim?

In the event of incapacity for work due to an industrial accident, you can claim various forms of loss of income, including:

  • Less wages: If your employer only continues to pay 70% of your wages, you can recover the 30% loss.
  • No irregular hours allowance or overtime: This lost income is also part of the damage.
  • Pension accrual and bonuses: Loss of this can be included in the damage statement.
  • Benefits with loss of income: For example, when you receive a benefit that is lower than your regular salary.
  • Income from extra work: Such as tips, bonuses or 'black' income.

Our specialized personal injury lawyers accurately calculate your total damages based on pay slips and other financial data.
